High Leigh: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like High Leigh?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Broxbourne station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
How do I get a quote for remedial sealant in High Leigh?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Can you reseal a split movement joint?
Yes. The depth is set with backing so the sealant only bonds to the two sides, which lets it stretch.
Do you guarantee remedial jobs?
Yes. You get our 12-month guarantee, and we are ARBOMaster approved.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Can old silicone be taken off without scratching the tiles?
Yes, with care. We cut and lift the old sealant with tools suited to the surface, and the residue is cleaned away. We point out any damage that’s already there.
Leave it or put it right?
A joint that has failed twice will fail again unless the cause is dealt with. Finding it, whether movement, water from elsewhere or an unsuitable product, ends the cycle. Older cottages and farmhouses around High Leigh can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why us?

- Over 20 years’ experience

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Don’t point over movement joints
- Run the fan after every shower
- Don’t add new sealant on top of old
- Use a soft cloth, not a scourer, on silicone
Clean gently: no scraping, scouring pads or harsh chemicals.
If a joint has failed more than once, stop resealing it. Get the cause found first, otherwise the next attempt will fail too.
Surface by surface
Over-sealed & botched joints
Previous removal attempts can leave scratches or gouges. We take care not to make it worse, and tell you about any damage we find.
Worktops & kitchens
Kitchen joints hold grease and residue, so cleaning takes longer than in a bathroom before resealing.
When to call us in High Leigh
Water from somewhere else can ruin a good seal. A slow leak behind the tiles soaks the joint from the back, so the silicone goes mouldy or lets go.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Worktop sealant that has shrunk and split
- Over-sealed joints coming away
- Beads that never stuck properly
- Smears and lumps from a botched reseal
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Catherine & St Paul, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Remedial sealant in High Leigh: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Broxbourne station change hands often, and botched sealant from a previous quick fix is easier to strip out between tenants. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Westfield Community Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
